I think some of the Mayor Pete supporters are taking this too personally. I know you’re not, but i think some are.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Bill Maher: Buttigieg a 'little too young' to be president [View all] DonViejo Jun 2019 OP

but in the same interview he is being critical of people saying Joe is too old?? jezebel321 Jun 2019 #1

Honestly...I would have thought, too, before I listened to and read more about Mayor Pete DrToast Jun 2019 #2

I don't think it's so much his age as it is the lack of experience on a national level Indygram Jun 2019 #5

The "experience" argument is one the pukes are sure to embrace. mobeau69 Jun 2019 #11

Yep! MyOwnPeace Jun 2019 #37

Definitely not your avg 37 yr old. I think Maher is speaking of life experiences. nt Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #62

Bill Maher is one of the sharpest people in the universe when it comes to politics mtnsnake Jun 2019 #13

He regularly parrots RW talking points Trumpocalypse Jun 2019 #20

ALL of this 👆🏻👆🏻, which is why I run extremely cold on Maher most of the time ... LenaBaby61 Jun 2019 #38

Maher is a misogynistic, Islamophobic shanny Jun 2019 #39

generally speaking, yes. But Pete is wise far beyond 37. AlexSFCA Jun 2019 #7

Politicub: Maher a "little too much of an asshole" to judge anything about Buttigieg Politicub Jun 2019 #9

LOL Qutzupalotl Jun 2019 #33

as a local mayor he is untested electorally. he has not even won a Congressional district sized elec TeamPooka Jun 2019 #10

"untested electorally', really? Did Mike Pence appoint him to be Mayor or, did he win by DonViejo Jun 2019 #16

If you want to pretend winning a mayor's race in a city of 100K is the same as winning TeamPooka Jun 2019 #23

And Donald Trump won how? DonViejo Jun 2019 #24

So you're saying that's a good thing? We should be like Republicans? Interesting. TeamPooka Jun 2019 #25

No, quit playing games. Donald Trump won without ever holding an elective office... DonViejo Jun 2019 #26

your example lost the popular vote by 3 million and had help from a foreign power to win. TeamPooka Jun 2019 #28

The popular vote yes, but he's still President isn't he? I guess you feel our candidate (whoever... DonViejo Jun 2019 #34

I did not say my feelings on his capability, just that he is untested. That's a fact you don't like. TeamPooka Jun 2019 #35

Of course they are apples to apples. marylandblue Jun 2019 #55

But he beat all the "experienced" Repub politicians. nt Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #64

That poster was upset the other day because Pete was wearing shirtsleeves in the airport lol. cwydro Jun 2019 #49

and then he finally wore a suit in Iowa and looked good doing it. Finally looked Presidential. TeamPooka Jun 2019 #56

And Biden wore shirtsleeves! cwydro Jun 2019 #58

It's not my fault his casual attire lacks gravitas TeamPooka Jun 2019 #59

Trump looked ridiculous here in Louisiana in a suit. Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #65

Neither had Trump. nt Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #63

Maher is right Bradshaw3 Jun 2019 #12

Specifics DrToast Jun 2019 #15

I had already looked at that Bradshaw3 Jun 2019 #21

Maher's point was mainly about Pete. It was about a 77-81 yr old being President. nt Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #66

Bill Maher sucks. lark Jun 2019 #14

Obama was a full decade older BannonsLiver Jun 2019 #17

Most republicans feel the same exact way about Maher as you do. Personally, I think Maher is great. mtnsnake Jun 2019 #18

He's a comedian. Take it with a grain of salt. nt DesertRat Jun 2019 #19

He's a political satirist. I disagree w/what he said,but Maher is very smart... Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #68

It doesn't qualify him one bit. calguy Jun 2019 #29

Mayor Pete needs some real accomplishments on the national level to run for POTUS Gothmog Jun 2019 #31

He has more executive leadership experience than Trump Qutzupalotl Jun 2019 #36

Maher is 63 and he's not very smart Clash City Rocker Jun 2019 #30
